To the editor,On the surface Proposal 5 looks good.In a Democracy, we expect "majority rule." Proposal 5 would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the state House of Representatives and state Senate or a statewide vote of the voting public, before any new tax could be installed or any existing tax increased. And, not too many people want to pay more taxes.So what's wrong?There are 38 members in the state Senate. A two-thirds majority would be 25 votes, thus leaving 13 votes against the majority. The possibility then exists that those 13 senators, whoever they may be, could stop any tax issue, good or bad, dead in its tracks. That means the entire state of Michigan as the possibility of being held hostage by only 13 legislators. Proposal 5 provides for the definite possibility of minority rule.Proposal is not good for the state of Michigan.Vote "no" on Proposal 5.— Jack Ferguson, Coldwater
